My mom in Kyoto in 1986, when my dad was doing a doctorate searching for old Buddhist texts. She worked one day at an Italian food stand at a department store, but she poured too much booze in the sample cups of the customers. They politely explained to her that she needed to be less generous.

My maternal great-grandmother, daughter of a Sephardic Jew, would sing a traditional Venetian song: "Risi e bisi con la luganega, marìta dàmela, te la darò" ("Rice and peas with the big sausage, give it to me wifey, yes I shall").

But seriously, AI is getting cringier and cringier.

My father Alfredo Cadonna with his class of Armenian students at the island of San Lazzaro in Venice. Between 1979 and 1981 he taught Italian and Latin to the poorest students. Every morning my father would call for the ferryman from the shores of the nearby Lido island to come and pick him up.

Today my good friend @lockenload.bsky.social inaugurated his first personal exhibition. Sadly I couldn't be there, but my truesona Mike was exhibited: what a honor!

The exhibition will be held until February 8that the Museo Archeologico of Brescello (RE), Italy.

How come I always end up looking awkward when I take selfies with cool people? Must be my inner fanboy screaming inside.

Two years ago I luckily won a raffle that @lclalamizu.bsky.social held, and she drew these lovely headshots of my wolfcoon fursona Mike.

A really cool commission of my wolfcoon fursona Mike that @valycenegative.bsky.social drew for me at Novegro comics 2023, using a picture of human me as a reference.

A super cool commission by @stanleypolecat.bsky.social
featuring his OC Baub Dalmatian and my raccoon fursona Mike jamming together (yeah I actually play the harmonium IRL lmao).

(Btw what do you think they're playing?)

My raccoon-wolf fursona Mike is sooo looking forward his next shooting!

A super cute drawing that I commissioned to my friend @seb0la.bsky.social two years ago, shortly after winning a film swap competion.

I actually sneezed so hard that I managed to spill my herbal tea on my freshly worn pijama.

Time to hit the shower, go to bed and sleep for hopefully a very long time.

Fuck influenza, fuck dry cough and fuck cold.

Good thing I chose unicorn quality 🤍

My gf is doing conceptual art.

The one on the left means "Due di picche, qui gatta ci cova", literally "Two of spades, the female cat is incubating", which in Italian means "a brush-off: there's something fishy here".

The one of the right is a tribute to the Beatles and John Lennon's childhood.

Credo di aver visto la pubblicità sui numeri di Topolino, insieme a queste che per 3-year-old me erano a dir poco confusing e creepy.

Someone who states that writing the names of girls who should be raped on the bathroom walls of a school in Italy is just "a kids' prank", is stalking my IG. He also threatened to sue because I told him he's a pedo defender because he supports Donald Trump. His photo models should stay away from him

George Harrison is my favorite Beatle. Now I have one more good reason.

My girlfriend's gentle snoring kinda reassures me: at least she gets some well-deserved sleep.

In case you wonder, I snore way louder: my night-time truesona should be a pug.

Alla presentazione del libro "Sopravvissuto: il dramma di Bibbiano", di Claudio Foti.

"Ripetete una bugia cento, mille, un milione di volte e diventerà una verità."
- Joseph Goebbels

Purtroppo noi italiani siamo un popolo di pecoroni.

Grazie Dottor Foti.
